Impunity and human rights in international law and practice, 1995, viewed Sept. 3, 2009: p. 3 (In many cases of human rights violations the official or quasi-official status of the perpetrators shielded them from sanction, creating a culture of impunity in which the most inhumane acts could be carried out without fear of repression)
Encyclopedia of genocide and crimes against humanity, 2005, viewed Sept. 3, 2009: p. 489 (Impunity refers to an offender escaping punishment for an offense that involves a particular form of harm inflicted on an offended party ... When transposing this portrayal to the level of intergroup conflicts capable of culminating in crimes against humanity and genocide, a paradigm of impunity becomes discernible. The relationship of the favorable vantage ground of the offender to the vulnerability of the victim yields the principle of disparity in power relations)
